Police Officer Involved Domestic Violence.
Lighting a candle of remembrance for those who've lost their lives to domestic violence behind the blue wall, for strength and wisdom to those still there, and a non-ending prayer for those who thought they had escaped but can't stop being afraid.

Saunders was held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $500 bond and bonded out the same night.

According to an arrest warrant, the witnesses, two juveniles, said Saunders pushed and hit their mother during an argument.

The alleged victim had no signs of assault and made no written statement, according to the warrant.

Saunders does not have a history of domestic assault.

Chief Al Ansley confirmed Saunders is an officer and said there will be an internal investigation following criminal proceedings.

"Sgt. Saunders is a 20-year veteran and has a very elite work record and has given a lot to this department and this community," Ansley said. "A lot of people including myself think a lot of him. This is an unfortunate incident. I'm concerned for his family and him, but the first priority is for this to work its way through the court. My respect for Tim Saunders is very high."

The alleged victim declined to comment, and Saunders could not be reached for comment on Friday.
